Make sure /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 sez something like: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=yes DHCP_HOSTNAME=mupplesnarf PEERDNS=yes TYPE=Ethernet Then restart the networking: $ sudo service network restart Check /etc/resolv.conf for DNS servers. If the first line is not someothng like: "; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script" check the permissions. The should be 644. Check /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-eth0.leases to see want information was sent with your lease. The DNS sever _should_ be in there. option domain-name-servers 192.168.124.10,192.168.124.20; It should also tell you where you got the lease from: option dhcp-server-identifier 192.168.124.10; If NOTA helps, bring the networking down $ sudo service network stop then try running dhclient from the command line with debuging. $ sudo dhclient -d eth0 > > > > --------------------------------- > Do you Yahoo!? > SBC Yahoo!
